About Pathfinder Services of ND

History

Pathfinder Services of ND is a statewide non-profit organization. We were started in 1987 by a small group of North Dakota families. These parents received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to become ND’s statewide parent training and information center. Today we serve over 2000 parents of children that are at-risk due to learning challenges or have disabilities (age birth to 26).

Mission

Our mission is . . . To unite families and educators by giving them the resources to build positive futures for and with children, students and young adults with learning differences or challenges.

We help parents and educators to connect, plan for and become engaged in each child/person’s education. Our mission includes individuals who receive both general education and special education services from birth through age 26. (Revised June, 2010)

Alliance

We are part of a national alliance of parent centers. Through the alliance we have access to many unique resources and services that strengthen our ability to serve families and schools. If we don’t have what you need, we can often find what is available through other states.
